The flights at the MAT are pretty staggered so that there is usually only 1-2 going in/out at one time. Those who have a lot of luggage will check their bags so it makes no difference to the waiting area. I hated crowds before the pandemic and would purposely fly through the MAT to avoid JFK at all costs. And my biggest issue with the MAT has been that there is only one restroom for the entire terminal. There is enough room to spread out in the seating areas pre-flight.
Yes, GW the restaurant is still there though I'm not sure of the current menu.
